If they are really manipulative about it post-gettogether, call in a welfare check on them. Maybe they get annoyed at having to convince authorities they are not suicidal. Maybe they get to spend a couple days in a hospital where they get to share their feelings and be challenged on what it is that causes them to feel that way.
I found a MCM couch and 2 armchairs in excellent condition. Whoever loved them last had them recently reupholstered in good quality fabric. They are so comfy to sit in!
I think I laughed too, but it was the Sunday school teacher that shared that with me. I think that may have been the moment where little me learned that not all adults can be relied on for facts.
Yeah, my initial take was self-degradation. Interesting to see the variety of interpretations.
And in case self-degradation is what OP meant, I tend to remind myself "would I say that in that way to my bestie?" Pretending I'm mentoring a vulnerable kid/teen is also working.
I had saved it to my watchlist way back, but was looking for something weird and nonsensical this week, so I gave it a go. Turns out it's based partly on a tiny community in extremely rural eastern Kentucky about 20 minutes from where my Papaw and his people are from (and that holler is so remote that you used to have to drive a ways up a creek to get to it - the creek was the road). It was such a kick to watch them driving there...I recognized the landmarks!
No, really. It's a Purina/Friskies app. One of my girls couldn't care less, but the other LOVES to watch it and swat my phone. I had to keep adjusting the settings until it fully captured her attention. You can change size, quantity, color, and speed of the fish. I thought a full-on fish fracas would be to her liking, but turns out that just one really large fish is more fun for her.
Edit: I also had to demonstrate swatting the fish to her so she could see that they wiggle and disappear when whacked.
If you have a friend to rely on to keep pinging the doc and cc-ing you, that was what finally got me there in the end. The specialist in my town was (you guessed it) incredibly ADHD themselves and in dire need of a personal assistant.
I was thinking David Bowie as a Conan supporting character. Maybe as a resourceful underworld crime boss that helps sneak the heroes into an enemy palace.
